Orthotic Products
We are the exclusive UK & EU Distributor of the Pressure Relief Ankle Foot Orthosis (PRAFO™) & wider orthotics range from Anatomical Concepts Inc. Whether a patient is in bed or in a wheelchair, pressure ulcers at the heel are important to prevent and difficult to treat. The PRAFO range is excellent in its ability to accommodate the widest range of clinical challenges in one device family.
What makes a PRAFO unique?
When you choose a PRAFO, you can be assured of an excellent quality product and a set of standard features that set it apart from other available AFOs.
Versatile Sizing
One PRAFO can be used on either the left or right leg and is adjustable in foot length and calf length. You don’t need to stock a range of sizes or variations.
Metal Structural Upright
The PRAFO is the only device with a metal upright section. This is important because the device does not easily become displaced on the foot due to patient movement. It can also be used at night to resist development of plantarflexion contractures. If you use an AFO that flexes too much you can cause pressure ulcers on the foot.
Built in Walking Base
In order to safely mobilise the patient whilst in the device, there is a built in walking base.
Malleable Anti-Rotation Bar
Each PRAFO is fitted with an anti-rotation bar to prevent internal or external rotation of the limb, which can lead to pressure on the malleoli.
Fine Adjustment Capabilities
A PRAFO is the only device available with fine adjustment of the dorsiflexion / plantarflexion or equinovarus / valgus to accommodate existing deformity.
